ancientsaint Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) Oh Gosh those chaps at Celtic have written a clarification letter to those beastly chaps at the SFA following Alan Muir (remember him against Livingston when Sheerin scored and 2 of the livvy chaps encroached -Muir gave free kick to Livvy and was eventually banned !) denying them a "penalty"...Muir apparently told the Reffy chappy that it hit the Inverness chappies Moosh and not his hand. Now how many times have Celtic got a dodgy decision and never once did anyone write a letter. Bad grapes chaps !

Cagey Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 They really are sad. What kind of explanation do they want. All ref can say I never saw it or I saw it but I don`t like giving pens especially to Celtic. Never mind as Ronnie would say , these things even out over the season.

Dave H Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Laughing stock. Let's all laugh at their reaction. I can see this going to Fifa. This bad luck obviously is the balance to them progressing in Europe. I wonder what the Poles think of this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesaint Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Fair play at all the comments and as much as I hate the manky mob.... The fact remains, 1, it was a stonewall penalty 2, ICT player denying a clear goal scoring opportunity 3, it was and should been a red card 4, it changed the whole complexion of the game If it happened against us we would be pissed off as well..... But congrats to ICT because overall I think they merited it on the 2nd half showing and really hope like us last season they go on to create some history for their club. Enough said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejksjfc Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 ICT had a stonewall penalty denied as well when the sub goalie flattened their player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinnoull Kicker Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 .....Celtic get pen v SJ, Mackay sent off, bo whatever his name subsequently banned for diving, SJ denied stonewall pen in same match. Celtic manager claims not to have seen the dive nor the stonewaller but makes the point that "they even themselves out over the season". Well there you go......tough luck Ronny !

HOODLUM65 Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 ICT had a stonewall penalty denied as well when the sub goalie flattened their player. My thoughts entirely at the time. These things have a habit of evening themselves out over the season. Wendy Saints 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enough said I agree with every word, anything that happened after this appalling decision is of no relevance. I feel sorry for ICT because their moment of glory has been tainted. Remember 17 May when we all thought Stevie May had made it 2 - 0 only for the goal to be disallowed. I was temporarily gutted but now can look back on hour day of glory without any worries about dodgy goals sealing our victory. We won fair and square and there is no need for any apologists to say we might have won anyway. Wendy Saints 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slf Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 I once was told things even out over a season. For example earlier this year stjohnstone were denied a stonewall penalty next thing Celtic received despite a blatant dive by there player a penalty which they scored. Later in the season ....

ancientsaint Posted April 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Meekings cited by SFA -refuses 1 game suspension as its the cup final he would miss.....ICT now looking at legal position as there was a decision made by assistant behind the goals.

Fecks sake, if Meekings gets a ban and misses the final, this is gonna open up a can of worms, as there are gonna be a flood of appeals/protests/letters to the authorities/compliance officer. He never elbowed anyone, like Scott Broon, or dived to win a penalty. Wendy Saints 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOODLUM65 Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) True and what punishment will Alan Muir receive as it was he who said it hit meekings face -- In his defence, and having seen it dozens of times in slo/mos, due to the players being so close to one another and the ball being between the players his view of the handball was NIL, especially with Meekings movement, giving the impression he headed the ball or in Muir's view hit him in the face . As for Alan Muir, he was in the wrong place/position at the wrong time. Might have been better positioned behind the net, after all the net is the intended destination/aim of the ball. Need technology in place aka tennis, rugby and cricket, where a controversial decision can be reviewed, obviously with the number of reviews restricted to say three per team per match.

dave mc Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 How can the sfa prove it was intentional? Meekings just needs to say he intended to header it, and was balancing with arm up, no way can intent be conclusive at that speed or distance, hope Caley take it all the way Cagey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
